I've got a few objects that I'm not sure about, the first one was
tagged "corn shock pulley", does anyone know how and where it was
rigged up? Is the other tool on the same page a wooden cornshucker?

Also, I'm looking for verification of the tool in photo number 69:

The guy who sold it to me thought it might be a barb wire tool, but he
wasn't sure. I don't think it's a wire cutter, there are no sharp
cutting areas as normally seen on them.

Thanks for clarifying this one.

Well, here are my guesses....
The cornshock pulley looks to me like it rides on the rail of a sliding
door...maybe a barn door.
#69 is a specialized wrench...specialty unknown.
#70 is a threading die
#71 switch lever
#68 railroad nails (in some circles these are collector's items)
Hope this helps.

Hard to tell from the photos, but I think it's actually a wire cutter.
There's a pivot pin an inch or so away from the "jaws". Why it has
that odd pin-spanner like jaw isn't something I recognise.

A thread _cleaning_ die, not a thread cutting die. It's a solid die,
not adjustable, so if you tried to put it onto a piece of uncut bar,
you'd never turn it.
